    ‘We Should Impeach Maliki,’ Kurdish MPs Say

    SULAIMANI, Kurdistan Region – Iraq’s Kurds have been too patient with the Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and it is time to have him impeached, Kurdish MPs said.

    “We have to show Maliki our strongest reactions," urged Bakir Hama Siddiq, an MP from the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU).

    "Maliki's policies and behavior must be ended. This prime minister has practically proven that he has nothing positive in his agenda," Siddiq said.

    "Impeaching Maliki is still on the table and a consensus has formed among the political parties about the dire consequences facing Iraq if his State of Law party continues on its current path," according to Shwan Muhammad Taha, an MP of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in Baghdad.

    Maliki “has already made all the possible bad and illegal decisions," he added. "The only decision left for him is to make war."

    Maliki’s government is built on complex alliances with the Kurds, Arabs and other religious and ethnic groups and parties.

    For weeks, the premier’s Shiite Arab government has been locked in a dangerous military stand-off with the Kurds. He ignited the fuse by sending in troops to take over security in the disputed oil-rich province of Kirkuk, and the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) countered by deploying thousands of its own Peshmarga fighters.

    More recently, Kurdish anger against Maliki has been joined by protests by the country’s large Sunni minority over alleged discrimination against their provinces.

    The anger at Maliki comes as Iraq’s ethnically Kurdish President Jalal Talabani, who also leads the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party, has been recuperating in Germany from a serious stroke he suffered three weeks ago.

    Ala Talabani, a leadership council member of the PUK, said that another Kurd should replace the ailing president, because the post belongs to the Kurds.

    "This issue has not been discussed yet. But this post belongs to the Kurds," she added.

    Meanwhile, a KDP source told Rudaw that the party agrees Talabani’s successor should come from his own PUK.

    Sources also said that Iran has told Massoud Barzani, KRG president and head of the KDP, that Tehran would not approve of anyone who did not have his blessing.

    Iraq’s Kurds and Sunni Arabs Pushed Closer by Opposition to Maliki
    09/01/2013 05:23:00By SALAR RAZA

    SULAIAMANI, Kurdistan Region – Their growing opposition to Iraq’s Shiite-led government has pushed the country’s Kurds and Sunni Arabs closer together, but problems between the two still persist, MPs from both sides say.

    For the past several weeks Iraq’s Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has been besieged on two fronts, first by the autonomous Kurdistan Region’s anger over Baghdad’s efforts to take over security in disputed northern territories, and lately by Sunni-led protests over alleged discrimination against provinces where they are the majority.

    “The Sunni Arab protests in Iraq have unified the Sunni and Kurdish position, but the two sides have not come close enough to solving problems between themselves,” said Bakir Hama Sidiq, an MP from the Kurdistan Islamic Union (KIU).

    “It is just events that have brought us and the Sunni Arabs together, nothing more,” he added.

    He said that while the two sides are in agreement in their opposition to Maliki, a signed alliance between them would have to be “based on belief in the rights of the Kurds, not only on mutual interests.” He said he did not believe that the Sunni Arab Iraqiya coalition was ready to accept Kurdish rights, including those over the energy-rich disputed territories.

    Iraq’s large Sunni minority has been enraged by Maliki, accusing his government of marginalizing Sunni provinces and calling for the release of detainees. Meanwhile, in disputed Kirkuk province the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) deployed thousands of its Peshmarga fighters in November, after Maliki sent in his controversial Dijla forces to take over security.

    Some observers say that Maliki’s moves had been aimed at weakening his rivals, and at marginalizing the role of the Sunni Arabs in the country’s political process.

    The Kurds and Sunni Arabs find themselves in the same corner of the ring at a time when Maliki’s government is trying to convince the parliament to reduce the KRG’s share in this year’s budget from the usual 17 percent.

    Sidiq said that the recent flare-up in Sunni opposition to Maliki meant that some Sunni Arab MPs were backing down from supporting a motion to make budget cuts against the KRG.

    In an interview with Al-Sumaria television last week, the premier said he does not recognize the Peshmarga as part of the national security force, and therefore his government would not arm or pay for the Kurdish fighters.

    “The Peshmarga budget has to be regulated in accordance with the constitution,” said Sunni MP Hamid Mutlag, in support of Kurdish demands that the Peshmarga are entitled to a portion of the budget.

    Kurdish Government Agrees to Reopen Syria Border Crossing

    ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has agreed to reopen a crossing along the Syrian border, closed after the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Syria was accused of imposing taxes and bribes on food supplies into the war-torn country, officials said.

    They said the KRG’s agreement on Saturday to reopen the Fishkhapur crossing was signed with the Syrian Kurdish National Council (KNC) and the PYD, which controls the area and has been accused by other Kurdish opposition groups in Syria of ties to the Damascus regime.

    “Preparations have been made to open a border point between Syrian Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Region in order for humanitarian aid to reach western Kurdistan smoothly,” PYD co-leader Salih Muslim told Rudaw. He dismissed claims that his party had been profiting from the route.

    “Paying a dollar or two per person should not be called a payoff. It is the source of income for the guards who protect the borders,” Muslim said.

    Saturday’s agreement stipulates that the crossing is to be controlled by a Kurdish committee on the Syrian side, not armed PYD guards as before.

    Mustafa Cuma, general-secretary of the Kurdistan Freedom Party in Syria, told Rudaw that the PYD must respect the agreement with a signed pledge to not profit from the humanitarian supplies.

    “The KRG had not closed its doors to the Syrian Kurds, but to those smugglers who try to take advantage of the people,” Cuma said.

    Syria’s Kurdish regions are gripped by acute fuel and food shortages, as a civil war between an opposition coalition and the regime of President Bashar al-Assad appears to be coming to a head.

    Fishkhapur lies 25 kilometers west of the city of Zakho, and shares a 15-kilometer border with Syria’s Kurdistan region. The residents of the area include Kurds and Christians.
